The Rise of Ning Mansion in Red Mansions

Chapter 53 Everyone is his own master
On February 27, the second year of Taikang, at noon, I received a letter from Jia Lian sent by Zhaoer.
Jia Min was both happy and sad to learn that Jia Daishan's spirit had arrived in Jinling Province.

When Yao wanted to get married, her makeup was so beautiful and the city was so sensational, and when she was at home, her father's infinite love for her seemed like yesterday.
Now, this man has passed away, and there is a separation between yin and yang.

Suddenly I thought about my illness, which was hopeless.

Moreover, Lin Ruhai was stubborn and refused to serve his lord, so he wanted to drag the entire Rongguo Mansion to endorse his loyalty.

Then I thought, what would Lin Daiyu do if she died and was left alone?
For a moment, Jia Min felt so sad that she started crying in the flower hall, until her beautiful phoenix eyes were red and swollen from crying.

When Lin Ruhai came back from the office and saw Jia Min pear blossoms in the rain, I felt pity for her, so I felt extremely distressed.

He held the pretty Jia Min in his arms and comforted her in every possible way, and she gradually stopped crying.

The couple whispered together and decided to take their six-year-old daughter, Lin Daiyu, from Yangzhou Salt Road to Jiangning on a starry night.

One is to personally welcome Jia Daishan's spirit back to his hometown to repay his kindness in raising him.

Secondly, recently, Jia Min gave birth to a male fetus that was about to take shape. She was feeling depressed and depressed, and her body was fragile. She often delayed taking medicines and had no improvement. She happened to come to Jiangning to relax and ask a famous doctor to see her.

In the evening of February 28th, Lin Ruhai and his family hurriedly hurried slowly, and finally left Yangzhou one day before Jia Dai and arrived in Jiangning.

Checked into Yangtian Tower, the most elegant and unique restaurant in Jiangning.

I don’t know,

Whether Lin Ruhai did it intentionally or not, it happened to be that Yangtian Tower was the property of the Zhen family in Jiangnan.

The next day, Zhen Yingjia, the head of the Zhen family in Jiangnan, received a report from the shopkeeper of Yangtian Tower. He thought that Jia and Zhen were family friends.

Lin Ruhai is also the son-in-law of Rong Guofu, how can he not fulfill his duty as a landlord?
Zhen Yingjia was a scheming person and had the upper hand in several confrontations.

I received a secret report from Shenjing the day before yesterday, saying that the Supreme Emperor will soon go south and travel to the south of the Yangtze River.

The place where you will stay in the future will definitely be your own home.

Therefore, when Zhen and Lin met today, Zhen Yingjia was full of confidence and had great intentions of taking down Lin Ruhai and stealing Emperor Taikang's money bag.

Yangtian Building originally has three floors. The first floor serves as a canteen, kitchen and warehouse for individual customers.
On the second floor, multiple independent spaces are separated and used as private rooms, only for literati, poets, and officials to have drinks and gatherings.

The decoration inside is exquisite and full of rich poetic and painting style.

On the door at the entrance, a red lacquer and gold plaque was hung, writing the name of Yajian.

The serving is very exquisite!
The third floor is used as a guest room for distinguished tourists. It is decorated gorgeously and makes you forget the world.

At noon that day, Zhen Yingjia set up two banquet tables in the elegant room of "Pinming Pavilion", separated by a glass screen, to entertain Lin Ruhai and his family.

The Zhen family is quite prosperous.

Zhen Yingjia has two daughters and one son, all of whom are children of the principal wife, Mrs. Zhen.

The eldest lady's name was Zhen Xueqin, and she was married to Jia Jing of Ningguo Mansion. She has passed away;
The second young lady's name is Zhen Tanqin, and she is married to Prince Shuirong of Beijing County as his concubine.

The only son's name is Zhen Baoyu, and he celebrated his seventh birthday in the mansion a month ago.

Mrs. Zhen, who is about fifty years old, still has her charm. She wears a little makeup and is leading her son in the inner room to talk to Jia Min and her daughter.

Zhen Yingjia, who was in her fifties, accompanied Lin Ruhai outside to drink, chat, and test each other.

The Zhen family came from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and were originally slaves of the emperor.

Because when Mrs. Zhen was young, she was the mother-in-law of the Supreme Emperor.

Zhen Yingjia had a sister named Zhen Yingmei. She was selected into the palace as a concubine in her early years and was favored by the Supreme Emperor.

Therefore, the Zhen family was very wealthy and powerful in the south of the Yangtze River. During the six times the Emperor went to the south of the Yangtze River, he stopped at the Zhen family five times. It can be seen that the Supreme Emperor has deep trust in the Zhen family.

However, nine out of ten things that go wrong in the world are also common to the Zhen family.

Concubine Zhen has been in the palace for many years, but she has never had an heir.
He sought the Supreme Emperor's permission in every possible way and adopted the sixth prince, Prince Zhongshun Xu Deliang, who had lost his mother at a young age, as his adopted son.

I have raised him by my side since I was a child, and now I am twenty years old.

Seeing that the Supreme Emperor was gradually recovering from his illness, he gathered military power and wooed the four princes and princes everywhere, almost completely ousting Emperor Taikang who had just ascended the throne.

Therefore, Xu Deliang secretly thought to himself that his opportunity to ascend to the throne had come, and he had unexpected thoughts, and his eyes were fixed on the dragon chair under Emperor Taikang's buttocks.

Concubine Zhen realized that her adopted son was disobedient, so she discussed this matter with Mrs. Zhen, her younger brother Zhen Yingjia, and Suzhou Zhizong Zhen Yingde, and felt that this matter had great potential.

Lin Ruhai was ranked third in the first class by Enke and Emperor Taikang last year. He was appointed as Tanhua Lang, and was awarded the title of Editor of Hanlin Academy. In March, he was promoted to doctor of Lantai Temple.

In September last year, he was promoted to the censor of the Yangzhou Salt Road Supervision, taking charge of the salt affairs of the Huaihe River. He was Wei Fangjin's money bag, second only to the emperor's master Gu Bingjun, and a close official of Wang Ziteng.

After arriving in Yangzhou, Lin Ruhai noticed the alienation of the Zhen family and had many secret conflicts, all of which ended in failure, including their good only son.

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, there was a wonderful fight between the two when there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Sir, Mr. Yucun asked to see you. He said he had something important to report."

Lin Ruhai heard that it was Chang Sui Liu Quan's voice, and quickly put the raised wine glass back on the table.

Apologizing, he glanced at Zhen Yingjia opposite him, clasped his hands in fists and said:
"Brother Zhen, I'm sorry!"

Zhen Yingjia pretended to be generous, waved her hands, smoothed the three-inch short beard under her chin, and said with a smile:
"It's okay, Brother Lin Xian, please do it."

After finishing speaking, Zhen Yingjia drank the wine in one gulp, and the evil look in her eyes was hidden by her wide sleeves.

After Jia Yucun entered Deya Room, he only told about Jia Dai and his party's arrival in Yangzhou. He also said that all the gentry in the city participated in the memorial ceremony, which was so lively and lively.

However, the fact that Jia Dai was not interviewed was hidden, so as not to prevent Lin Ruhai from thinking that he was not doing things well!
When the news reached Jia Min, crystal tears welled up in her eyes.

Not long after, Jia Min started coughing violently, clutching her chest. She couldn't stop it, and the little Lin Daiyu burst into tears. She kept shouting "Mother", "Mother",
It's so pitiful that it makes people heartbroken and heartbroken.

"Come quickly, call the doctor!"

Mrs. Zhen also understands the irreconcilable conflicts between the Zhen and Lin families.

It's just that each of the two families is their own master, and they have different paths and no plans.

But I couldn't bear it when I saw that a good lady from the government was tortured like this by the political struggle of a bad man's family.

With Mrs. Zhen in charge, the place immediately calmed down. Doctors were invited, and everything was in order.

"Madam, I have seen this sister before,"

Seeing that Lin Daiyu accompanied Jia Min to the Nuang Pavilion for a break, Master Zhen Baoyu left the table and followed him with dreamy eyes.

Mrs. Zhen grabbed her and said, "Baoyu",
Zhen Baoyu came to her senses and continued to die without saying anything shocking.

Mrs. Zhen thought he was ill again and said with a smile, "Have you ever seen him before?"

"Even if I've never met him before, I can only treat him as an old acquaintance, so I can't do anything!"

Compared to the warmth and harmony in the inner room, Lin Ruhai and Zhen Yingjia outside were at loggerheads and broke up unhappy.
